Like many other people in and around Gaston County, my heart broke when I read that Precious, the chihuahua who was born with an extra leg, was sold to a Coney Island “freak show” and that the puppy would be living the rest of its life with the extra leg that the doctor said would be uncomfortable for her.

I felt so bad, and I carried that feeling with me until Wednesday.

As soon as I heard people talking about Allyson Siegel of Charlotte, I could have hugged her. Siegel is a UNCC student who upped the bid on the puppy to $4,000 and stopped the bidding when she took him home with her. Bless her.

Like Siegel, I have cats. I have had dogs, too. I intend to send her as much money as I can. It may not be much, but I love this woman for what’s she’s done. Anyone with me? To make a donation, contact the Animal League at 704-718-HOPE or info@algc.us. Our story says if Siegel gives Presious up for adoption, she will do it through the Animal League.

If that day comes, I hope I get my foot in that door first. Then Precious would be an aunt to Killer and Maggie, my son and his family’s chihuahuas.
